So I decided to get serious for once and take care of me and my health!

So on 02/15 I weighed 276. (ahhh! I'm only 5'6) and no one i know is overweight like this! Family...skinny. Friends...skinny!
I finally hit the 10 pound mark.
266.

Super excited this morning. Finally!
Ready for this!

Btw - you should add me and keep me motivated since everyone in my life is skinny. LOL

    Congrats! Keep up the good work. 10 pounds in a month is great -- a nice, safe pace. Stay the course! Remember, slow and STEADY wins the race.
    I hope in another week or two I can celebrate my first 10-pound loss.

    Congratulations! I know that it seems like forever to make it to your first 10, believe me. I haven't made it to my first 10 yet, but I know when I do it will be a great feeling. Keep it up! I am also trying to lose the weight before the big "30". I hope that 30 is not only fabulous but thin too!
